The following steps allow you to quickly setup and work with your AT-VP504E FXO.
For more details on the setup options, please read the AT-VP504E FXO
Administration Manual.
Step 1 - To connect the AT-VP504E FXO hardware and use the
automatic start up:
1. Connect the power cord to the AT-VP504E FXO and then connect the
other end to an electrical outlet.
The AT-VP504E FXO powers up. You do not need to wait for the device to
complete its power up cycle before proceeding to the next step.
2. Connect standard PSTN telephone lines to Ports 1, 2, 3, and 4.
3. Connect a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet RJ-45 cable into the Ethernet connector
of the AT-VP504E FXO and connect the other end to a compatible
Ethernet interface that supplies TCP/IP network access (e.g. router,
switch, hub or computer).
The AT-VP504E FXO begins its initial provisioning sequence.
The automatic start up is the easiest way to have your AT-VP504E FXO
connected and ready to be used. However, you will miss one critical
element: its IP address.
If you have no way to determine the IP address attributed to your
AT-VP504E FXO, you will have to perform a recovery mode reset. The
procedure is described in the AT-VP504E FXO Administration Manual.
Step 2 - Provisioning Sequence
When the AT-VP504E FXO is first powered on, it needs the configuration data before
it can support calls. This process is known as provisioning. There are several
components involved in Provisioning. The DHCP Server provides general network
information and the Unit Manager downloads the remaining configuration using
TFTP.
1. When the AT-VP504E FXO boots, it broadcasts a message requesting
DHCP services.
2. The DHCP server then responds with a set of IP addresses and network
parameters, one of which is the AT-VP504E FXO IP address.
The following basic network parameters are assigned via DHCP:
• AT-VP504E FXO IP address
• Subnet Mask
• Default Router address
• Primary DNS address
• Secondary DNS address
• Unit Manager IP address and port number
3. The AT-VP504E FXO uses the IP address of the Unit Manager requesting
its configuration.
4. The Unit Manager configures the AT-VP504E FXO. This configuration
allows the AT-VP504E FXO to come on line in the network.
Note: The IP Communication Server must also be installed on a machine
accessible by the network in order to take full advantage of the
AT-VP504E FXO. Please refer to the IP Communication Server Manual
for more details on how to install and configure the IP Communication
Server.
Warning: To avoid electrical shock, apply the following instructions:
• The device must be installed by technical personnel.
• Make sure the ground path is connected.
• The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device, so
ensure that the equipment is installed near a socket-outlet that is
easily accessible.
• Disconnect the 4 PSTN interface connectors before disconnecting
the power cord from the device.
Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger
telecommunication line cord.
Note: The MAC address is essential if you want to reserve a specific IP
address in the DHCP server. The MAC address is printed on the label
located at the bottom of the AT-VP504E FXO.
